AEE-788

AEE-788 is an inhibitor of EGFR, HER2, VEGFR2, and FLT3 that exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity. In animal models with ependymoma xenografts, AEE-788 increases survival rates. In acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells, AEE-788 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. This compound displays mixed results in a clinical setting due to high toxicity.
